## Description

Daily mind-blowing facts. 110+ stories you've never heard, narrated for your commute. Lock-screen widget, Apple Watch app — zero ads, zero tracking.

There's a difference between trivia and amazement. this AMAZES us! collects the second kind — verified facts so strange they re-arrange your sense of how the world works.                                                            
  
A peregrine falcon dives at 242 mph. The sperm whale's click would deafen you at point-blank range. Hedy Lamarr, the 1940s movie star, co-invented the technology behind Wi-Fi. Axolotls regrow severed limbs in 6 weeks, scarless. Every story is sourced from credible publications — Nature, NASA, Smithsonian, BBC, peer-reviewed journals — and written to surface the specific number, name, or moment that makes the fact unforgettable.

  WHAT'S INSIDE                                                                                                         
  
  • Fresh stories every 5 hours, hand-curated across 8 categories: Science, Nature, Technology, Space, People, Animals, Art, and Records.                                         
  • Listen mode — tap the headphones and a neural voice (Onyx, deep and calm; or Nova, warm and bright) reads the full article aloud. Perfect for commutes, walks, or doing the dishes.                                                      
  • Cosmic Radio — pick a genre and let the queue run. Auto-advances through tracks like a science-podcast station that never repeats.                                                                                                        
  • Amaze Me — one tap pulls a random fact from the entire archive. Try to put your phone down. You won't.
  • Lock-screen widget — a new fact glances at you every time you check the time.                                       
  • Apple Watch app and complications — quick wonder on your wrist.
  • Daily Amaze — one push notification per day at the time you choose, opt-out per category.                           
                                                                                                                        
  WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK                                                                                           
                                                                                                                        
  • No clickbait. No "you won't believe what happens next." Every headline contains the specific fact.                  
  • 400+ word articles. Long enough to be substantive, short enough to finish on the bus.
  • Source links on every article, every time. We never make you wonder if it's real.                                   
  • Save what you love, share it as a story, follow comment threads from other readers.
  • Reading streaks and Game Center achievements for the curious-completionist crowd.                                   
                                                                                                                        
  PRIVACY                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                        
  • Zero ads.
  • Zero third-party trackers.
  • Zero monetization of your data — there's nothing to sell.                                                           
  • MetricKit-only crash reporting (Apple's privacy-preserving aggregated histograms) and you can turn it off.
  • Sign in with Apple is optional — only required if you want to comment. The rest of the app works fully without an account.

It's the app for people who would rather know what makes a hummingbird's wings beat 80 times a second than which celebrity wore which dress to which premiere. Welcome — we think you'll fit right in.
